The Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive

In early 2003, The European Union passed legislation known as
Directive 2002/95/EC which restricts the use of six hazardous
substances, including Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent Chromium,
Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB), and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers
(PBDE) in equipment such as computers, cell phones and consumer
electronics equipment sold in Europe. The ban goes into effect
in July of 2006, with some exceptions.

At Connor-Winfield, the transition to RoHS compliant manufacturing
has been an environmentally driven program that was put into place
over 4 years ago. As a global manufacturer, Connor-Winfield's
components not only affect the United States markets, but worldwide
markets, and our commitment to ensuring safe and compliant products
has been an ongoing quality issue for our management and design
engineers.

Connor-Winfield is quickly moving to ensure that all part numbers
will be compliant as per the definitions and exemptions given in
the directives before the July, 2006 deadline.

To verify compliance of an individual model number

RoHS compliance is specified on the datasheet for each individual
product. To determine if a particular model is RoHS compliant,
please review the latest version of the datasheet. The easiest
way locate the most current datasheet is by searching for the
model number in our datasheet search form at the bottom of the
left column.
